Centuries of Change: Which Century Saw The Most Change? by Ian Mortimer
Which century saw the most change? Most of us would quickly and confidently answer the 20th, but Mortimer doesn’t think we should dismiss the other candidates so quickly. To come up with the answer, he decided to investigate the major changes that occurred in the Western World in the last 1000 years in the society, in the economy, and in the scientific and medical fields, and the impact they had on everyday life. For each century, he also selects the person who influenced change the most. Of course not everyone will agree with his criteria to select and quantify changes, while others will complain that events they consider important didn’t make it into the book. It’s inevitable. A book like this can’t please everyone, but it provides some interesting food for thought. Although there are a few dry parts, it is a fascinating read you won’t be able to put down. Available at Amazon.

2. What are your favourite colours to wear on your eyes?
Greens, golds, and pinks.

3. Are you going out today?
Don’t think so. It’s very cold and rainy today, and I don’t like to go out when the weather’s this bad unless I have to.

4. Would you rather have telepathic or telekinetic powers?
Telekinetic. I’m not sure I’d want to hear what people think. But being able to move things around would be quite handy. I would be able to do all the cleaning without raising a finger.

5. Do you like infinity scarves?
Yes, they’re pretty and versatile.

It’s your turn!

5. Do you like infinity scarves?

1. Me neither!
2. I like navy for the lower lash line, lavender purples and pale pinks for the lid. I like golds for the inner corners a lot.
3. I did go out today… to class and the grocery store.
4. Telekinetic hands down! I so wish I could teleport to places like the clouds or a theme park haha.
5. Yes! They don’t require any tying and seem really handy though it’s too hot here for me to own many scarves so I don’t own any.

I was looking at Valentino dresses today! Ahh it has to be one of my favorite dress designers ever.
